Untitled

Duet
for a juggling actress
and a handy technician
Karen Bourre, jugggler and Julien Lanaud,light desiger met on the first production of
the show « Sortilèges » (« Spells ») from Jérôme Thomas’ theater company. For three years,
they regularly worked together and discovered they shared a mutual artistic sensitivity.
This experience reinforced their desire of creating a duet mixing juggling and do it
yourself stage design in direction of young audience.
The result is a blend of acts, objet theater and magic tricks.
Inspired by the music of Rose Murphy (pianist and jazz singer from the 50’s) with a
high-pitched and reedy voice, the show « Rosie Rose » is set in a retro style and mischievous
world.
In a cartoonesque scenery, Rosie Rose - a tiny cheerful woman - gets caught up in the
magic of the unexpected.
Her « so british » home, like a game partner comes alive, turning the show into an
everyday life fairy tale.
Rosie Rose unfolds her little home circus, filled with parasols, balls, opera hats and hula
hoops…
And the ordinary becomes extraordinary
Show created and interpreted by
Karen Bourre and Julien Lanaud
Flowers are growing on all the hidden recesses of the stage
Garden gnomes are listening to private messages from the BeBeCe
Walls are dreaming of revolution
Mice are dancing on an old jazz tune
The furniture are putting up a fight
Sugars are jumping from one teacup to another
Paper planes are preparing for take-off
And the woollies are becoming emancipated
Are we in an unreleased episod of the 4th Dimension or in an old super-eight cartoon ???
« Rosie Rose » is a surreal show with a great humorous tone,
mixing juggling, magic, DIY bits and pieces...
This 50 minutes show was intended for everyone over 4 years old.

Karen Bourre
Karen Bourre was born on a beautiful winter morning, facing a
christmas tree… But do juggling balls grow on trees ?
Few years later, and maybe not by accident, she enters Circus
Space in London and becomes a JUGGLER.
From that moment, it all happened very quickly, Gandini Juggling
Project (2000), the theater company POK (2001-2005),
Cirque Baroque (2002-2004), Nikolaus Maria Holz, Cie
Préoccupé (2007) Cie Jérôme Thomas (2005-2011), … Her
last creation, the juggling duet « Have a ball » had a flying start
when it was broadcasted on « Le plus grand cabaret du
monde », a very popular french tv program and has been all
around the world since then. (international Circus festival in
Monté Carlo, Nikuline Cicus Festival in Moscou, Vienna, Roncalli
circus.....)
And......OPOPOP.
Julien Lanaud
Julien took advantage of his conscientious objection to
become a LIGHT DESIGNER.
After spending a year and a half working at the cultural
center of the University of Burgundy in Dijon, he sets off with : the
Théâtre de l’Eclaircie, then Les Derniers Hommes, Frac Théâtre,
Cie 9,81, Cie Jérôme Thomas (Sortilèges, Le DUO, ICI..) , Cie
Gandini Juggling Projec (Smashed) and also with experimental
music troupes, Oslo Telescopic, Michael Santos., Norbert
Lucarain ...
Finally, with Karen, he realises tons of DIY stage design with a
slight hint of magic.
